"Nobody can fully understand the meaning of love unless he's owned a dog. A dog can show you more honest affection with a flick of his tail than a man can gather through a lifetime of handshakes."

Meet Rollin and Prince

Pets of the Homeless received a call from a disabled homeless man who lives on the streets in Redding, CA. He was staying in a homeless shelter, but was kicked out. He was concerned because his dog, Rollin, a 4 year old male blue-nose Pit Bull Terrier was limping and had blisters on his paws from all of the walking on hot pavement they had been doing.

Pets of the Homeless approved an examination. We assisted with antibiotics, special cleaning wipes for Rollin's infected paws, and we updated his distemper/parvo and rabies vaccinations.

A homeless woman who lives in her car in Murphy, NC called Pets of the Homeless about her Terrier mix service dog, Prince who might have a broken tail. Pets of the Homeless approved an examination.

Luckily, Prince's tail was only bruised. We assisted with pain medication.
